Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 405 Hakim, you bastard...

On the Hogwarts Express, the Aurors were still fully prepared for defense.

There were Aurors constantly patrolling the aisles inside the train, and even outside the train, there were Aurors patrolling everywhere on broomsticks.

Li Weide was sitting in the carriage, buried in a book, while the other members were chatting and playing games.

Even Tom was dragged into playing wizard chess by Flitwick.

Suddenly, an owl flew in from the car window.

Li Weide put down the book, took the letter from the owl's mouth, and then pushed the biscuits on the table in front of the owl.

Although the biscuit was not quite to the owl's taste, it still chose a biscuit out of courtesy.

This is a report letter from Andre, and there is also a letter attached to the report letter, which seems to have been written not long ago.

In the letter, Andre expressed his sincere gratitude to Li Weide...

Obviously, Andre already knew that Levid had asked the Malfoy family to make money with the Shafik family.

Andre got the news very quickly, so it must not have been a message sent by an owl.

"How long will it take to get to school?" Li Weide asked.

Tom checked his pocket watch. "Three hours left."

Li Weide nodded and put away the letters and books in front of him.

Before I knew it, several hours had passed in the car... Now I can relax a little.

Seeing that Levid was free, Tom ended the game directly and sat down in front of Levid amid the sound of Flitwick wailing that he had lost again.

"Do you think we'll be attacked again this time?"

"It shouldn't happen. The Aurors' reconnaissance personnel have spread out for several miles. If there is really an ambush, it will not be hidden from these Aurors." Li Weide said.

These Aurors are not the original Aurors of the Ministry of Magic... most of them are very elite witches.

Grindelwald doesn't want to experience the same thing again!

This time, Grindelwald spared no effort to spend a great deal of time investigating and personally went into battle to eliminate the Purgers.

In the end, I found out that this was just a play arranged by someone else... and I had unknowingly become a character in the play.

However, this matter was not without gain. At least, the blame that Grindelwald had been carrying was finally removed.

Tom evidently remembered this, too.

"Do you think Grindelwald can catch those behind this?"

"I think it should be possible." Li Weide said.

"You think so?" Tom was a little surprised. Grindelwald really didn't act very smart in this matter.

He was led by the nose the whole time... He couldn't figure out how to fight back.

"Of course! People like Grindelwald will have to pay the price no matter who underestimates him," said Levid.

Tom thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Li Weide said made sense.

How could a man who had once caused such a huge stir in Europe and was able to overthrow the entire Magical Congress of the United States be a fool?

And now, even Tom subconsciously thinks that Grindelwald is not smart, so... what about those people behind the scenes? Do they still think Grindelwald is a fool?
"You mean, he's showing weakness now? And then waiting for the enemy to reveal a flaw?" Tom asked.

"Not now... Tom, when he decided to cleanse himself and embark on a new revolutionary path, he already began to show weakness to his enemies. Don't you think that Grindelwald, who has embarked on this new path, is much more amiable than before? If you really think Grindelwald is a kind and good man, then you are deeply deceived. Besides, you don't think he really knows nothing about our plans against him, do you?"

"Ah? How could that be? Since he knew everything, why did he still do what you said?" Tom asked in shock.

"Because what I said was in his best interest, he simply pretended to know nothing... Honestly, I just gave him a warning... Otherwise, he would have waited until everyone thought he was doomed, and then dealt another heavy blow to the world. But the path he chose might not be this one."

"If what you said is true, then he pretended too well..." Tom frowned.

"Don't forget, Grindelwald is a prophet... He can see part of the future. How could he know nothing? He must have seen us in his prophecies. That's why he approached us from the beginning, and after receiving my warning, he trusted me so readily. However, the facts have proved that this path is indeed much easier to follow than his previous ones." Livid said, "His cooperation with Dumbledore, and even with me, can be said to be a tacit understanding that cannot be exposed... He wants progress, Dumbledore wants stability, and I want development... We each get what we need. So, you must not underestimate him. If my arrangements don't work, he will show his fangs sooner or later. Then, we will be enemies. Underestimating your enemies will bring disaster."

Tom looked at Levid in surprise. He was not surprised by Grindelwald's current forbearance, but that Levid would actually tell him so many things. He had never said these things before!
"Don't be surprised, Tom. I tell you this because your ability is sufficient, and it's time to tell you many things." Li Weide smiled.

Tom was still looking at Li Weide in shock. "Did my brain occlumency work?"

“Sometimes, you don’t need to use mind control to see into someone’s heart. Especially when you know that person well enough, and they happen to be bad at managing their expressions. So… don’t worry, your Occlumency technique is working, and it’s even improved quite a bit,” Li Weide said with a smile. But Tom couldn’t be happy at all.

I don't believe you... I doubt that even if I practiced my brain occupation skills to the maximum level, I wouldn't be able to stop you!

And...what does "it's time to tell you a lot of things" mean?
The context of these words...why does it sound like a father giving instructions to his son? Damn it, Li Weide! He's taking advantage of me again!
Tom paused for a moment before asking again, "Did Andre write to you again? Now that I have the ability... can you tell me what he is doing for you?"

"Okay." Li Weide handed the letter to Tom. "Do you understand this world?"

"Not really..." Tom shook his head, "Especially the magical world... I still have a lot to learn. After all, I've only been in the magical world for a few years."

"That's it... I need Andre to help me understand this world in advance..."

"You told me this before. Can you tell me something I don't know?" Tom said as he flipped through the letter.

"Look, you're getting anxious again. Haven't I finished what I was saying?" Levid smiled. "We need help. All kinds of help, so... he has to find those people or races in the world that are not favored by the wizarding world. Report all their flaws, hobbies, and difficulties to me."

Tom's eyes moved from the letter to Li Weide. "Unite all the forces that can be united?"

"That's right." Li Weide nodded.

"Is this really possible?"

"As long as you give them what they want, they'll definitely get what they want. Hmm... This is Grindelwald's method, and I have to say it works very well. Besides, this is the wizarding world, and alliances are different from those in the Muggle world. I have nine methods to ensure that allies will not betray their covenants. Yes, a full nine..."

Hearing this, Tom didn't dare to ask any more questions, because he was afraid that if he asked too much, it would alert Li Weide and cause him to use one of the nine methods on himself...

Alliance? That's a lie! He's definitely using slavery as a means of enslavement! I don't want to be enslaved!

Dark Lords are all lunatics with antisocial personalities! Of course, Levitra, who aspires to become a Dark Lord, is also one!

Tom shrank back involuntarily.

Li Weide sat opposite, watching Tom's little movements with a smile...

He just thought it was hilarious how Tom tried so hard to hide his fear, but couldn't.

I don’t know if this reaction is fake. If it is, it would be even more interesting.

Hakeem, you...

Did he already understand what it meant to show weakness to the enemy?

Oh... no, he is weak...

……

Li Weide did not hear any familiar names at this year's sorting ceremony.

However, despite Li Weide's lack of clear instructions, members of each college's mutual aid society still gave each freshman a thorough introduction to the benefits of the mutual aid society. Presumably, Annie and Tom would receive another large wave of application forms tomorrow...

This is actually very important. When the students who are less affected by the mutual aid society reach senior years and gradually graduate, these students who have been influenced by the mutual aid society since they entered school will be the team that Li Weide will be able to develop stably in the future.

Although Li Weide is short of staff now, this situation will be greatly alleviated in the future after these students graduate.

It would be a shame if the people gathered by mutual aid societies dispersed after graduation. We must make good use of them.

"There's a war going on in the Muggle world right now, and even the wizarding world has been affected to a certain extent. As a result, the employment environment for wizards has become worse. So... I have another good idea."

At night, Li Weide contacted Andrews through the ring in the dormitory.

"Just tell me what you want me to do." Andrews didn't ask the reason, but just asked Li Weide to give the order.

"Help me put some industries on the table... Wait until the students from the mutual aid societies graduate and directly assign them jobs..." Li Weide gave a very straightforward order.

"clear."

"I will have an owl send you the detailed industry information later, and then you just wait for contact, I will have someone come to find you. You don't have to worry about the future operations, you just need to supervise it." After Li Weide finished speaking, he hung up the ring.

Subordinates like these who don't ask any questions and directly carry out their tasks are first-class subordinates. Li Weide expressed great satisfaction with this.

As for what industries to put on the table?

This weekend is a good time to have a good talk with Mr. Malfoy and set up a company or something.

While making money, he continued to influence the graduated students, and gradually developed a new force...
